DANA FOX:I did not, actually.

Joy Gorman did, and she is an extraordinary producer and a longtime friend of mine.

They both have such an incredibly strong work ethic, and that they never give up.

As an adult woman, it resonates so strongly with me.

What was it like balancing a real story with obviously some creative license?

Let’s give her the treatment that is normally reserved for male movie stars.

Let’s let her be taken that seriously."

As the shoot got going, how involved was the real Hilde?

She’s been amazing.

Her whole family has been really amazing actually, I feel like we won the lottery with them.

That’s the other thing about the show that I love.

You didn’t follow-up, that’s bad journalism."

And knowing that’s the thing that he could say to her that would hurt her the most.

How did you guys get Jim Sturgess, who’s so amazing in this role?

I was a big fan ofAcross the Universe, so I never forgot about Jim Sturgess.

Their chemistry together is absolutely extraordinary.

I think anybody who sees them together just gets it right away.
